install 2nd laptop

[bugspappaw]

I have read several threads regarding installing Hoster software on 2 laptops and just need clarification before I do this. I bought Hoster for 2 laptops and have only had it installed on 1 laptop. I have now bought a 2nd laptop and want to install my 4.32.03 on the 2nd one. I don't want to upgrade at this time.

My first laptop is a Dell with XP Home. My new laptop is a Dell with XP Professional. Will there be a problem?

No problem providing you still have the original instalation file. When you install it you will have to enter your original registration code and the original email address that you used at the time even if that is no longer in use.
If you don't know this information you should be able to find it from your account information.
Your version will not work on the newer 64bit computers or Windows 7 should you ever think of getting one.

I have installed the software and downloaded my files to an external hard drive. I started getting Hoster issues before I completed my imports. When I started using the EDIT tool to delete duplicates or make corrections to my data, Hoster started locking up with Database cannot open and Hoster would not let me back in when I closed it down. I would also have to close the import window after every import before I started to import again. I have to reboot everytime I make a correction.
This is the error:
AppName: hoster.exe AppVer: 4.3.2.0 ModName: hoster.exe
ModVer: 4.3.2.0 Offset: 000f33a0

Should I reload Hoster? Do I need to reload my Office Access?

Try doing a rebuild of the database first. may have gotten corrupted.

If I rebuild using the same info list I built it with once I imported everything, won't it put back all the deletes I did to the database through the Edit tool?

If all the edits were done through Hosters Edit dialog then the changes will be saved in the kma files headers and rebuilding the database won't return all deleted files.
If you used Access at any time to do your editing then there is a good chance that those changes will be undone.
That's why you should stick to Hosters Edit dialog to make changes.
